Perthro (2021)

About this game

Perthro is a Norse mythology-inspired dice game for two players. It is fast-paced, easy to learn, and has an incredibly small footprint. Each player takes all 6 dice of one single color. Both players take turns rolling their dice and trying to place all 4 of their WYRD Runes on their side of the game mat. The first player to do this wins the game. After rolling their dice, players check if they have any special symbols, pairs, or triples. -Multiples can't be split. (a triple cannot be split into a single and a double - or a double into two singles.) -Dice that were used as part of an effect or a pair/triple, must be set aside for the rest of the current turn. -A soon as a player doesn't have any more dice to use, the turn passes to the opponent. -description from designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
